Cation‐Engineered Narrow‐Band Green Emitting Phosphor Toward High‐Performance Laser‐Driven Displays

ABSTRACT Wide color gamut and high brightness are critical performance metrics for advanced displays like projectors. Combining narrow‐band green and red color converters with a blue laser‐driven light source is one of the most effective solutions to achieve these goals. In this...

The role of visual complexity and image authorship in shaping aesthetic experience: A comparison of original and artificial intelligence-modified art

In this project, we investigate how visual complexity and the authorship of artworks, whether created by a human or modified by artificial intelligence, affect viewers’ aesthetic experience. Additionally, we examine how these factors influence participants’ evaluations of how bea...

Entertaining and informal power: governors’ wives at Hillsborough Castle, 1925–1972

This article examines how the wives of Northern Ireland’s governors shaped social and political life within Hillsborough Castle between 1925 and 1972. As the official residence of the governor, a position created in 1922 as the monarch’s representative in Northern Ireland, the Ca...

Implementation of sustainability interventions in ICUs in the Netherlands: A survey of the green ICU

Background The healthcare sector's environmental impact is mostly caused by hospital care, with Intensive Care Units (ICUs) being a significant source of pollution. The Dutch Green ICU network shares sustainability interventions and best practices on its online platform, supporti...

Small vulnerable newborns and prenatal exposure to organophosphate esters: Insights from the Ma'anshan Birth Cohort

Evidence on the association between prenatal exposure to organophosphate ester (OPE) and small vulnerable newborn components is limited and inconsistent. This study included 3208 mother-child dyads from the Ma'anshan Birth Cohort. In the first, second, and third trimesters, urine...

1-Billion-Token Context Window. It's Absolutely Unreal.

An intentionally provocative engineering note accompanying the open-source biggie-kun project. It describes a request-scoped lexical retrieval system presented through a chat-completions interface as a nominal one-billion-token context window. The paper discusses the implementati...

Comparative analysis of the CT and MRI features of pancreatic colloid carcinoma

To investigate the CT and MRI features of pancreatic colloid carcinoma (PCC) and to correlate imaging findings with histopathological characteristics. The CT and MRI images and clinical data of 15 patients with PCC confirmed by surgical resection and histopathological examination...

mTOR inhibition augments antitumor immune effector response by reprogramming the TP53-mutant, immune-cold HNSCC tumor microenvironment

Resistance to immunotherapy remains a major clinical challenge in TP53 -mutant head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), a disease subset characterized by immune exclusion, high recurrence, and poor outcomes. Given the constitutive activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling in TP...

Zoned Namespace is a Double-edged Sword: Rethinking the Impact of the ZNS Interface on File System Scalability

Emerging Zoned Namespace (ZNS) SSDs transfer garbage collection (GC) to the host, thereby providing more stable performance and extending device life. Although the ZNS SSD has these hardware advantages, each zone in the ZNS SSD must be written sequentially. File systems always ne...

Caste‐Associated Social Context Modulates Behavioural Interactions With Insecticide‐Exposed Individuals in Nasutitermes corniger (Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae)

ABSTRACT Termites are eusocial insects that maintain cohesion and exchange information through frequent physical interactions among nestmates. This social organisation underlies the principle of horizontal insecticide transfer, which is widely exploited as a termite control strat...

PFUSRC-133: Contemporary Astronomical Observations and Microscopic Experiments Jointly Falsify the Mainstream Cosmological Model and Validate the 11-Dimensional Coaxial 45° Biconical Topological Unified System

From 2024 to 2026, high-precision cosmological observations, high-energy physics detectors, and condensed matter quantum experiments have collectively formed a cross-scale, unified chain of anomalous evidence. The three foundational presuppositions of the ΛCDM standard cosmologic...

What a universe that becomes changes: The foundational reach of Time-Actualization beyond hard physics

Time–Actualization (TA) is a foundational interpretation empirically equivalent to quantum mechanics on a causal-set substrate: it makes no new prediction (a constraint of admissibility, adopted with QM, we label P5). It therefore has, by construction, no purchase in hard physics...

Activated microglial phenotypes in the hippocampal CA2 subfield are implicated in Lewy body disease progression

Abstract Histopathologic staging models of neuronal α-synuclein pathology (n-asyn) in Lewy body disease (LBD) seldom evaluate brain regions with direct synaptic connectivity to model the role of microglial processes. We address this gap by testing the hypothesis that, within the...

Phi-Coupled E8 Lattice Resonance as a Deterministic Collatz Engine — E8 Intelligence Research

By mapping the Collatz trajectory onto the 240 E8 root vectors, the 132Hz phi-coupled oscillation acts as a topological sieve for integer dynamics. Each step of the Collatz function is realized as a phase-transition between specific harmonic sub-lattices, where the $3n+1$ operati...

Phi‑Coupled E8 Metafrequency Synchronization for Bio‑AI Methane Feedback — E8 Intelligence Research

When the 240‑vector E8 lattice is driven at its 132 Hz base frequency and each root vector's phase is modulated by the golden ratio (φ), the resulting superpositions generate a scale‑invariant, quasi‑periodic resonance grid that precisely matches the oscillatory dynamics of bio‑A...

Diasporic Jewellery: Identity, Memory, and Cultural Continuity

This article examines the role of jewellery in diasporic contexts, exploring how diaspora communities negotiate identity, memory, and heritage across borders. Building upon the theoretical foundations of cultural memory and material dialogue, this study argues that jewellery oper...

The Diophantine Equation 2^p - p = k^m: Closed Exponent Classes, a Uniform Exponent Bound, and Effective Finiteness

We study the equation 2^p − p = k^m in primes p and integers k, m ≥ 2. Exactly two solutions are known, (p,k,m) = (5,3,3) and (7,11,2), and an exhaustive computation reported here shows there are no others with p ≤ 10^6. Results. (A) The only solution with m even is (7,11,2); the...

Microglial immunometabolism in Alzheimer's disease: A stage-resolved trajectory from adaptive remodeling to the metabolic paradox

Microglia are central regulators of the cellular phase of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Under chronic exposure to amyloid-β, pathological tau, and aging-associated bioenergetic decline, these cells undergo immunometabolic remodeling that may initially be adaptive. As stress persists,...

Robust Inference With Ghostknockoffs in Genome‐Wide Association Studies With Sample Relatedness

ABSTRACT Genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) have been extensively adopted to depict the underlying genetic architecture of complex traits. Recent studies show that knockoff‐based methods can identify variants with unique, potentially causal effects on phenotypes. However, th...
